I agree that 1 - 2 hours of homework may be excessive. However, 10, 20, or even 30 minutes seems reasonable to me, assuming that it reinforces what is being taught in school.

And yet, most of the population won't end up making a living from their sporting accomplishments. However, they will get a job based on what they learned (or didn't learn) in school.

That sounds cool. WebRPC isn't meant to be an "everything to everyone" solution. It's main advantage is simplicity and low overhead. It allows you to quickly and easily build a service tier that is consumable by multiple

If you are implementing a REST service, then I agree with you 100%. WebRPC is simply a different interpretation. In WebRPC, GET means "get the result of executing this method". POST basically means the same thing, but the argument

Not sure. The client libraries don't work with sockets directly. The Java client uses HTTPURLConnection, the Objective-C/Swift client uses NSURLSession, and the JavaScript client uses XMLHttpRequest. You'd have to check the d

WebRPC is a lot lighter than XML-RPC (or JSON-RPC). It's really just a thin layer on top of HTTP. Arguments are passed in the query string (or as form parameters, if POSTing), and the response value is returned directly as JSON. There&

I haven't used Thrift myself, but I just took a quick look at the docs. My initial reaction is that Thrift seems to be a bit heavier. WebRPC doesn't require any intermediate interface definitions and doesn't create language-s

I've been antenna-only for 6+ years now. My first antenna cost $60 and was OK. After a couple of years, I replaced it with a $100 version that is much better. I rarely ever have any issues with it.

When I got my TiVo a few years ago, you could buy a lifetime subscription. I think it was about $300, which seemed pretty reasonable. I've had the unit for almost 4 years so I've definitely broken even on it. They still seem to of

It uses autolayout. The details of constraint management are abstracted by layout views such as LMRowView and LMColumnView. You can also use the new UIStackView class Apple added in iOS 9. See this article for more information: https:&#x2F

XAML was definitely one of the inspirations for MarkupKit. It was also inspired in part by MXML (Apache Flex), FXML (JavaFX), and to some extent HTML. It's also conceptually similar to the markup language used to build Android applicat

Things may have changed recently, but online YP searches have typically been just as frustrating. Most of the time, the top search results are paid promotions nowhere near me and sometimes not even relevant to my search.
